DoomEd

DoomEd was the level editor used by id Software and Raven Software to create levels. It was written in Objective-C for the NeXTSTEP operating system. Contrary to editors created by the community, it did not work directly on WAD files, but only on a text format that was then compiled into a binary-format map by DoomBSP; both tools were meant to be used in tandem.

John Romero uploaded the source code to Dropbox and advertised its availability on the Doomworld forums on April 21, 2015.
